"There's a lot of The Last of Us about all this, it's certainly got that Last of Us 2 vibe that the protagonist's best course of action would be to just fucking stop – maybe bury themselves in the woods somewhere – but at least in Last of Us 2 there was the suggestion we weren't supposed to agree with these grimy murdering twats. Requiem seems to think we should be on side with Amicia. Early on she and the fam take Hugo to a doctor who is very blatantly coded as a villain – arrogant, dismissive, looks like Ming the Merciless – and all the time he's on screen I'm nodding along to everything he says. "We must isolate the boy and treat him according to current scientific understanding." Yes! Great idea! Thank Christ Captain Sensible finally arrived! But then he does a medical thing that makes Hugo say "Ow," and Amicia hears and decides she must get Hugo away from this unfeeling monster."
